Duke: Jaka would do good in Rome, Hysa doesn't deserve the situation

The president of the Albanian Football Federation, Armand Duka, has provided an interview for Italian media “Tuttomercaveeb”, where he has talked about a variety of different issues of current football. From the European Championship finals to Albania's coach Edy Rey, the future of Albanian football player Granit Jaka, to the blasts of local fans against Elseid Hysa.

Regarding the Euro 2020 European Championship, Duka said it was a very quality tour, while Italy earned the title of Europe's best.

“was a beautiful European with many great qualities and emotions in almost all matches. Soccer restored the emotions that seemed distant - stadiums filled with fans. I can say that we have already triumphed in the face of the great difficulties that we all experienced and are seeing light at the end of the tunnel. ”

I saw a beautiful Italy at all matches. A major success for Manchin's team, which has undoubtedly been well received in Albania, where there are a large number of Italian fans because of their love for Italian football, but also for the neighboring country, with which we have historically been very close. Italy showed excellent qualities. It has changed and improved greatly. Coach Manchin has great credit for making a lot of teams and a lot of teams. Italian football deserves maximum marks for what it gave in Europe. Italy's success belongs to the Federation, directors and players. They created a team willing to win. They created a climate of faith and always emphasized that this team could go away and eventually achieve well-deserved success.”, Duka stressed.

“Anglia did not believe that he would win the European Championship even though all public opinion and fans had created an atmosphere that the trophy is coming home, but they did not believe it. Belgium had a strong team, for many it was seen as one of the main favourites, but for me it was not on the favourite list. ”

The first of the FSHF has also talked about Jaka's transfer from Arsenal to Rome, saying it would be an added value for the Italian team.

“Granit is a brilliant midfielder, with many qualities. His qualities were already confirmed at the European championship, where we saw excellent presentations and a leader who knew how to lead the team in difficult times, as in success against France. No doubt it would be an added value for Serina A and for Rome, which I believe will hold a good championship this season.”, Duka said

He also commented on the poor situation through the best that Elseid Hysa is going through following the problems that emerged with Lazio fans who came from the interpretation of the song “Bela Ciao”.

This is a very serious matter that happened. Elsie is a great player and a great guy who does not deserve the attack on him at all. His strong character will be able to triumph in the face of these attacks and will make a great season of Laci and our National. Verbal and ideological violence has nothing to do with football and its values. They have to stay away from football forever.

Finally, Duka also spoke of the situation of coach Edi Reja at the helm of Albania's National.

With Coach Rey we're doing a good job from everywhere. He's helping a lot not only with the Great National, but with the national youth teams, from U-15 to U-21. I mean, the results are also good. We have succeeded in winning the group in the League of Nations, despite the absences and hardships of Ovidius-19. On this new road, we've started well, we have six points after three games played, one against England in Tirana. I have to stress the fact that September is very important for us, because we will play against Poland in transfers and Hungary and San Marino at home.”, Duka said.
